Yes, decline of education standards is linked to women in the workplace and women teaching children to read, according to Republican Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, driving his points into homes while interviewed on TV.   Continue reading “Rep. Gov. Sexist Comments On TV Outrages Women”

The Devias, of Walnut Creek, Calif., will do just about anything to hold onto their pit bull -– even go so far as to live out of their car.

Carol and Peter Devia and their two sons own two dogs who they’ve raised since they were puppies, ABC News reports. But when the husband and wife were recently fired from their newspaper delivery jobs, they lost their apartment and their pit bull, Rocco, has been standing in their way of securing a new home.   Continue reading “Family Of Four Chooses Homelessness Over Giving Up Pit Bull”

Americans are witnessing the harmful effects of years of unchecked immigration and coerced racial preferences. But these dire consequences were rarely predicted fifty years ago. At that time, such policies were the cause du jour of many 1960s politicians.

The late senator Ted Kennedy vigorously asserted that such policies would greatly benefit society and assured us that they would cause no harm. The mainstream media solidly supported Kennedy’s starry-eyed predictions. Admittedly, there were dissenting voices, but none so vocal and contentious as one voice in England. I am referring to the late English parliamentarian, Enoch Powell. In his famous 1968 “Rivers of Blood” speech he correctly predicted dreadful consequences to society as a result of Britain’s loosened immigration policies and proposed expansions to race relations legislation.   Continue reading “What we didn’t hear in the 1960s”

The knock out game has come to New Orleans with a vengeance in recent weeks. Despite police denials, there have been several recent attacks that have all of the hallmarks of the vicious knock out game. In the past several weeks, in the tourist hotspot of the French Quarter, innocent individuals were targeted by black youngsters. These victims were not robbed, but were severely beaten and sent to the hospital in a coma.   Continue reading “Knock Out Criminals Hit a Home Run in New Orleans”

In John Huston’s classic 1943 documentary, The Battle of San Pietro, American soldiers run into battle, gunfire all around. They fall backwards into trenches, the camera jolting with the concussive force of the explosions. Eventually we see corpses placed into body bags. That harrowing immediacy is one reason James Agee called it “as good a war film as any that has been made,”—but it was entirely fake, staged with the help of the U.S. military to create better propaganda. Along with other staged documentaries, it was presented to the public and swallowed as an authentic work of non-fiction.   Continue reading “Lies the Greatest Generation Told Us”

Any American flag purchased by the US Defense Department from now on will be legally required to have been made in the United States.

America knows that one great obstacle this criminal administration is trying to get over is the disarming of the American people. If it is not President Barack Hussein Obama blaming the American people for the crimes he and his administration are responsible for committing in Mexico, then it is his sidekick, Attorney General Eric Holder, trying to teach the media to brainwash America’s young.   Continue reading “We Will Not Be Disarmed – We the People are the Militia”

Breitbart

On Jimmy Kimmel’s ABC show earlier this week, “The O’Reilly Factor” anchor Bill O’Reilly called President Barack Obama a “patriot.” On his show on Thursday night, O’Reilly reiterated that sentiment, calling “almost every president” in the country’s history “a patriot.”

“I said on Kimmel that both President Bush the younger and Barack Obama are patriots because they served their country,” O’Reilly said. “You may not agree with them, alright? But I don’t think you say they’re not patriots unless you have, you know, evidence that is just through the roof. I think almost every president that’s ever served this nation has been a patriot, including Richard Nixon.”   Continue reading “O’Reilly Doubles Down on Obama Is a ‘Patriot’ Claim, Says Nixon a Patriot as Well”
